Auto close window

How to auto close window using javascript without the pop-up message of "Do you want to close the window?"

Hi Jasmine_V,

You can only use JavaScript to close a window without this security warning, if the page was opened by either a target="_blank" or a JS window.open from another page.

Hi!

Sorry I am a complete idiot when it comes to javascript. Could you let me have the javascript so that I could just cut and paste it?

Thanks!

I think BlobFisk means that you can't close a window that you didn't open using javascript.

<a href="" OnClick="window.close()">Close Window</a>

The window will close when you click the link, I dont think you can make one auto close with javascript unless you actully compile some java code yourself and embed it into your page and have it activate as the last step.

You would have to have a great understanding of java programming and a compiler to do this aswell.

Well the code below works great.
Simple javascript and it close the page after a certain time.

<script language="javascript">
<!--
setTimeout("self.close();",10000)
//-->
</script>
